Gender Responsive Probation: Working Effectively with Females in Corrections

This very timely workshop combines up-to-date information with skill-based training to provide probation officers, other corrections professionals, and their supervisors with a solid foundation for working effectively with the female offender population. You will come away with a detailed understanding of the differences between female and male offenders, an update on the latest research on female offender assessment and case planning, and an opportunity to discuss and practice strategies for decreasing common barriers to female offender compliance and success.

Upon completion of Gender Responsive Probation, participants will be able to:

1) Explain recent developments in gender responsive theory and strategies and their implications for day-to-day work with female offenders.

7) Gain an awareness of what is happening in Minnesota and nationally around female offender issues.
